ITunes will only play first track from an album!

Hi all
Have recently upgraded to iTunes 9.2 and it's broken!! For some unknown reason when double clicking on an album in my library, unlike in old iTunes the whole album would play, it now only plays the first track then stops. It will play all the tracks, but I have to keep selecting the next track to play. I want the old, fully working and polished iTunes I'm used to, not this half baked ill thought & rushed out alleged "upgrade"
Any help or advise would be gratefully appreciated.

Have the tracks become unchecked? iTunes will skip unchecked tracks, so if they're all unchecked, iTunes will play one and then stop. If this is indeed the case, re-checkmark the tracks - control-click on any checkbox will select or unselect them all - and you should then have continuous playback.
Hope this helps.

I downloaded an album from Itunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play.

I downloaded an album from i Tunes but one of the songs will only play first 4 minutes of 26 minutes and then stop. It is the last song on the album. All other songs will play. The Album is U.F.O. 2 One Hour of Space Rock.

Jim, wanted to let you know it worked. I deleted the entire album since it was an album only (26 minutes long) song, then I went to the home icon of iTunes store, clicked on purchased and saw previous purchases and bam, I downloaded the album again and it now works!!! Thanks..

After i have downloaded an album from iCloud to my new macbook pro. Itunes will only play one song at a time. If i hit the fast forward or back button will not do anything. I have to use the mouse to hit the next tidal in the album then hit play for it

First, make sure these items have checkmarks next to their names in iTunes. Continuous playback only works on checked items. Itunes will play all checked items in a list whether or not they're from the same album.
If you see that nothing in your library is checked and you want to check everything, hold down Ctrl while checking an item. This checks everything.
Next, fixing the "1 of 1" problem is easily. Select all the tracks that make up the book/album. Let's say there are 15. Press Ctrl-I. Doublecheck that the album box is filled in with the name of the book, and if not, type it there. Enter "15" in the box for the total number of tracks. Click OK. Now all the items should be "1 of 15," "2 of 15," and so on.

I am trying to upload a project with multiple tracks to iTunes. only the first track seems to be uploading. what do I do?

I am trying to upload a project from garageband with multiple tracks to itunes but only the first track is uploading. what do i do to make them all upload together?

Couple of questions:
What type of Tracks are they (MIDI, AUdio, Drummer)?
WHen you play your Project, do You hear all Tracks playing?
What happens when you change the Track order, i.e. A-B-C to B-C-A? WHen you export, do you still get only one Track and if so, is it talways the first Track in the list or a specific Track regardless if it is the first, second, or third?
Are you sure you don't have any Tracks Muted or Soloed (which auto-mutes the other Tracks)?
Hope that helps

Since update iTunes will only play one song at a time.

I know there is probably a simple solution but I can't find it. iTunes will only play one song and then it's done. It won't continuously play from my libray. I have over 5000. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I just can't find the solution. I even click on the next button and it stops.

Make sure all songs have a checkmark in front of them.

Help! itunes will only play one song at a time

My itunes is acting screwy. I open a playlist and play the first song, and itunes only plays that song. it won't keep going forward. it doesn't freeze up; i just have to manually play the next song. this just started yesterday with no adjustments, new downloads...no nothing. does anyone know what is going on? i have already uninstalled and reinstalled itunes, but to no avail. same problem. is this a setting somewhere that i don't know about?

Are the boxes beside each song checked? iTunes will only play the songs that are checked. To check all the songs press control + click in any box. To check only some songs, you can highlight them and then right click and choose check selection.

ITunes will only play one song. I have to hit play to start a new song. I have the shuffle on and I am in a playlist. I am running Windows 7. How do I correct this to randomly play music, by itself?

That's consistent with all the tickboxes to the left of the tracks (in Song view) being unchecked.
Go into Song view and Ctrl-click one of the empty boxes to do a "global recheck".
If you can't see the tickboxes, head into your General preferences tab and select "Show list tickboxes" as per the following screenshot (it's for an earlier version of iTunes, but the boxes are in roughly the same place in the recent versions 11.x):

ITunes 8 only playing 1 track?

I have just upgraded to iTunes 8 and I can't seem to get iTunes to play more than 1 track at a time. If I go to a playlist (or just 'Music'), and double-click a song, it plays.
I have the 'Shuffle' and 'repeat playlist' selected in the bottom left hand corner, but it just stops playing at the end of the current track.
AmI missing something obvious?

All the songs in the playlist are checked - but still only plays one track. Only stated with the install of iTunes 8. Also in the menu, I have selected under shuffle - all group
Any thoughts?

ITunes is missing the first track of most albums

For some time now, iTunes has been losing the first track of my albums and playlists. Not all of them, but many. I can't figure out a pattern...digital downloads, CD uploads, everything. There are a bunch of Track 1s for unknown albums listed in my Library, but when I click to listen, the files cannot be found. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

I think iTunes is screwing up the headers on some files. There's a free download called "MP3 Scan+Repair" that fixed mine. You'll have to quit iTunes, delete the library file, process your mp3s through that scan+repair utility and then re-add your mp3s.

Itunes import only plays 1 song from album

I just imported an album to my ipod following a purchaese from itunes. When i moved the songs to my ipod only 1 song will play. If i select another song the ipod always takes me back to the song it only wants to play from this album. Btw the songs do play on my computer ... just not on the ipod. Also its the first time i've imported music from itunes. Any ideas? thx.

Are all of your songs checked? To the left of each song title there is a little box. There should be a check mark in each box for the songs to play continuously. (If you don't want a song to play, you uncheck it.) If your library became unchecked, you can easily recheck everything. Go up to the top line in iTunes, select Edit>Select All, then go to a song in iTunes, right click, and choose "Check Selection".

ITunes will only play one song at a time!

Can anyone help me? I've just swapped all my iTunes data to a new laptop and everything seems to be running fine, only when I click on a song in my library, it only plays that one then stops. How do I make it play the lot?
Thanks in advance

My iTunes will only play one song and then stops.

In a playlist, my iTunes will play only one track and then it stops. Won't move to the next song, won't work in shuffle mode, just plays once and that's it! Any ideas? This just started a few days ago, maybe with a recent iTunes update? I'm in 11.0.3 (and of course, my AppleCare has just expired).

Hello kitkatmac
I would check to make sure that the songs in your playlist are check in the checkbox section. If they are not the songs will play and then stop once it is done playing like you have described.

ITunes will only play select music...

I have recently done a complete switch from PC to Mac and as such I transferred all of my music from my PC to my Mac. When I load the music into iTunes it will only recognize some music and won't even import the other stuff. The 'other' stuff played in iTunes on my PC and just recently noticed that certain albums were completely gone and when an attempt to re-import itunes would do nothing with it.
hope someone can help,
thanks.

Assuming this is for iPhoto on your Mac:
Launch iTunes use the File -> Library -> Organize Library -> Reorganize Library menu option. Then quit and relaunch iPhoto.

Apple TV will only play one track at a time, can anyone help?

Hi,
I have Apple TV model #MC572LL/A which I think makes it 2nd gen, right? I've had it for a couple of years, never really had a problem with it until maybe the latest update of the firmware (5.2), or maybe the latest iTunes (11) or maybe my brand new Win8 Sony Vaio or maybe since I reset my home wifi router 10 days ago, whatever, all these things happened at once, and all was fine until something went wrong sometime last week.......
All of a sudden this started happening:
I'll play a movie (which I have imported into my iTunes library as a 'movie', not a 'home video') and it plays fine. At the end if I want to play another movie I go back to the movies menu, scroll down to another movie, select it and the spinny thing in the center of my tv screen starts spinning......and stays spinning.....forever.
The same thing happens if I play a music track. At the end of the track in an album or playlist it will move on to the next track on the TV screen but nothing plays, the tiny spinny thing under the progress bar just sits there spinning.
I have tried restarting Apple TV and factory resetting Apple TV to no avail. When I restart Apple TV I have to turn off home sharing in iTunes then turn it back on again by signing in before I can see my library on my TV screen.
If I go to my PC and close iTunes and re-open it I can then play another music track or movie. At the end of the track, if I go back to the home screen UI I can see all my movie covers or album covers along the top of the TV screen if I am on the green 'computers' icon. Anything I select to play will not play if something else has just been played.
I have home sharing on, obviously, I have one wifi network, one Apple ID, one wifi router, one PC, one iTunes, one TV, one Apple TV, a very simple set-up. It all worked fine last month.
Please help, it's driving me crazy! Thanks!

Can't help you with your problem, but just a heads up:
The 2nd generation AppleTV is very valuable, if you ever decide to sell it.
Check it out on eBay...
